50. When you have to type two passwords simultaneously for some reason, typing in both of them yourself (one with each hand) looks impressive, and nobody will ask why you didn't just tell someone else what the second password was and have them type it in.

Another 50:

1. Navy SEAL training includes mind-reading. This is how Ryback knew exactly what Dane was up to (right down to the importance of the targeting disc), even though he wasn't in Dane's control room long enough to see or hear anything useful, didn't hear Dane's conversations with the Pentagon guys, and couldn't hear Dane talking to his backers on the phone.

2. When you're planning the crime of the century and your plan depends on staying in motion to avoid detection, hijacking a train full of passengers is much more low-key than renting an 18-wheeler and setting up shop in the trailer. And for good measure, make sure you tell the Pentagon what you're doing, even though your plan doesn't require them to know.

3. When you're holding a train full of hostages, you should never even threaten to harm them, even if it might stop the highly-trained anti-terrorism expert who's plowing though your henchmen with a minimum of fuss.

4. Spending 15 minutes a day keeping up your immunity to pepper spray is more important than keeping your knife-fighting skills sharp.

13. Bringing a passenger train to a stop, then backing it up, stopping it and moving it forward again takes about the same amount of time as it would for a car.

14. If you ever get thrown off a train and want to get back on it, find the nearest unlocked pickup truck with its ignition wires already cut so you can hot-wire it really quickly; drive really fast on mountainside back roads that run parallel to the tracks until you catch up to the train; jump out of the truck at full speed just seconds before it hits a feature of the landscape that will send it flying over the train and into a lake; then jump onto the top of one of the train cars from there.

18. Computers capable of controlling satellite weapons also make enough noise that mercenaries nearby have to cover their ears.

"

That's COMPLETELY wrong.

When you people quote movies, why don't you put a little effort to it, and do it RIGHT? I mean, the movie is right there. All you have to do is find the spot, listen to what's said, and then write it down. Like this:

"We know this. The Chinese know that we know. But we make believe that we don't know and the Chinese make believe that they BELIEVE that we don't know -- but know that we know. Everybody knows."

Or at least make it clear that you are paraphrasing (and doing so badly, I might add).

See how easy it is to get it right? My quote is correct. Your quote is completely incorrect. Why? Why didn't you take a few seconds to make sure it's correct? If you didn't think it was important, then why did you think it was important enough to even write it in a post?

GET IT RIGHT, IT'S EASY.

When an airplane explodes, its engines will remain perfectly stationary and functional for the duration of the explosion.

reply

[–] avortac 10 years ago

When a satellite-camera films a moving airplane, it can perfectly and without any wobble or shaking, track it, even when the airplane's speed (and composition) radically changes because of an explosion.

(Ever tried to film a fast-moving jetliner with lots of zoom? You'd be a genius if you can keep the camera AS PERFECTLY STILL and COMPLETELY CENTERED on the airplane as this movie showed us. Apparently satellites, that are moving fast themselves, are cameraman-geniuses)

When a highly trained man is thrown a bomb, his trained reaction includes:

1) Catching the thrown object
2) Holding it carefully
3) Looking down at it for an extended period of time
4) Reading whatever is written on it or its LCD screen

..instead of instantly throwing it back and shooting, or something more probable like that.

[–] avortac 10 years ago

Whenever women are in a train captured by terrorists and held as hostages, they feel free to just take their time to casually put on make-up in the train's toilet without a care in the world, (presumably after they have relieved their bodily urges) until a terrorist pounds at the door and yells: "Hey lady! What's taking you so long?"

And of course terrorists always refer to their female hostages as 'ladies', because it would be politically incorrect to refer to them with any other word.

reply

[–] avortac 10 years ago

When they show Erika Eleniak's passable tits pretty freely and wildly in the first movie, in the sequel, a trained, hard-boiled terrorist is completely flabbergasted at the sight of a mere cleavage.

I guess the price of tits went up. Now mere cleavage is supposed to be something to die for?

I wouldn't call a mediocre cleavage 'tits to die for'. That would have been a better comment about Erika Eleniak's bare and naked breasts. But of course Seagal, for some reason, neglected to make such a comment about them in the first movie.

I guess that would have 'objectified' the woman too much. But now that he spoke about someone else's presumed observation, it's okay, right? What a politically-correct, depressing time 1995 already was.

I think that scene would have worked much better with actual tits, instead of the mere cleavage.

Though the whole 'let's use sex and sexual provocation in a movie' is such an old cliché, and not appropriate for an action movie in my opinion, that I'd rather there not even be such a scene. There is a time and place for sex and sexual stimulation, "everywhere and all the time" is not it. It may SEEM like it, if you are a horny teenager, but it's not it.

[–] avortac 10 years ago

Big shot military generals that are responsible for the learning, teaching and arranging systematic mass-murders of large amounts of human beings, are tickled pink and overjoyed to the point of cheering out loud, when they hear that "the hostages are safe".

Yep, that's really realistic..

(I guess it could be explained by the fact that the 'reputation' is now safe, and that they don't have to give money to the grieving families or whatever, but it still seems to me very cartoony a scene, where they all cheer so much I would expect them to shed some tears of joy soon.. )
